Los Angeles, CA (December 10, 2020) – PRESS RELEASE – Today, Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter officially drops the first products from his cannabis line, MONOGRAM. As announced in October 2020, the brand marks a new chapter within the cannabis space predicated on dignity, care and consistency. After honoring those three tenets with 18 months of careful strain selection and meticulous cultivation practices, MONOGRAM is finally ready to introduce its core collection of products to the world.
“Cannabis has been around for thousands of years, yet it is still an industry whose legacy of skilled craftmanship is often overlooked,” shared Carter. “I created MONOGRAM to give cannabis the respect it deserves by showcasing the tremendous hard work, time and care that go into crafting a superior smoke. MONOGRAM products are next level when it comes to quality and consistency and we’re just getting started.”
While MONOGRAM draws inspiration and adapts techniques from the cultivators who have come before, it also seeks to redefine the cannabis category by taking an individualistic approach to describing product experience. Launching with four numbered strains designated “light,” “medium,” or “heavy,” MONOGRAM offers a clear and considered sensory description for every product within the line – from preroll to handroll to flower.
The newly introduced MONOGRAM strains – No. 88, No. 96, No. 70 and No. 01 – are currently available via the brand’s three product classes:
THE OG HANDROLL – The first product of its kind, THE OG HANDROLL (SRP: $50) takes inspiration from the smoke experience of a premium cigar, but implements a proprietary roll technique allowing the flower to burn slowly and evenly for multiple sessions. Highly trained artisan rollers break the flower down by hand and roll using a time-honored process that was specially architected by MONOGRAM Culture & Cultivation Ambassador DeAndre Watson. A true work of art and craftsmanship that cannot be automated, the roll itself burns clean and clear every time.LOOSIES PREROLL PACK – The LOOSIES PREROLL PACK (SRP: $40) contains four 0.4g prerolls that have been individually wrapped to foster communal smoking with ease. Each is filled with flower that has been produced to exacting standards to ensure a premium experience. The packaging itself makes a statement and reflects the magic held within: bold, convenient, top-shelf quality – wherever, whenever.FLOWER – Available in 2g and 4g jars, MONOGRAM FLOWER (SRP: $40 & $70) is cannabis perfected. Grown in small batches to maintain control and quality, each flower is hand-selected and hand-finished by MONOGRAM experts to provide the best possible experience, from grow to smoke. The bold packaging provides a showcase piece, while keeping the cannabis fresh and protected from UV light.
